Hayholme moated site is a medieval moated homestead located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a roughly rectangular moated enclosure typical of the high medieval period, with water-filled ditches that originally surrounded a domestic dwelling and its associated farmyard. Such moated sites were a common form of settlement in medieval England, particularly from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, and their construction often indicated the status and resources of their occupants. The survival of the earthwork at Hayholme provides evidence for medieval land use and settlement patterns in the Yorkshire landscape.
